	What? No cool double-bladed lightsaber? Relax. This is the [[Tatooine (Dark){{!}}Tatooine]] expansion, remember? [[Maul]] just used a single-bladed version in this part of the movie. As such, this weapon follows the format established by other unique lightsaber cards, with one notable exception. When [[Maul]] is using this weapon, it cannot be stolen. This simple bit of gametext protects [[Maul's Lightsaber]] from annoying interrupts like [[Weapon Levitation]], that can result in the Dark Side suddenly finding itself weaponless in a battle.		What?

			What? No cool double-bladed lightsaber? Relax. This is the [[Tatooine (Dark){{!}}Tatooine]] expansion, remember? [[Maul]] just used a single-bladed version in this part of the movie. As such, this weapon follows the format established by other unique lightsaber cards, with one notable exception. When [[Maul]] is using this weapon, it cannot be stolen. This simple bit of gametext protects [[Maul's Lightsaber]] from annoying interrupts like [[Weapon Levitation]], that can result in the Dark Side suddenly finding itself weaponless in a battle.

			In addition, [[Maul]] can make excellent use of his weapon. [[Maul]] can effectively ignore the presence of Light Side characters of ability less than 4. This means he can Force drain while at their site, using [[Maul's Lightsaber]] to add 1 to the Force drain. He can also use cards like [[Sniper]] to take pot-shots at those poor, low-ability characters, gradually reducing their numbers at his site. Light Side alien swarm decks will want to avoid this armed Dark Jedi as much as possible.

			Finally, like other lightsabers, [[Maul's Lightsaber]] gets two weapons destiny draws, making it easier to hit even high-ability characters like [[Obi-Wan Kenobi{{!}}Obi-Wan]] and Qui-Gon. [[Maul]] also has the advantage of using [[Maul's Electrobinoculars]] to rig a high destiny draw, practically guaranteeing a hit against even a Jedi Master if you take the time!
